Thanks for the comment, thehut.com has £13 brand-new Tactics Ogre so I couldn't resist and ordered itThe_Darkest_Red said:
As time consuming as these games are, I see myself ditching FFTA in favour of this one if only for the more mature theme and art. I've read a couple of faqs and the combat system of TO seems to be way more complicated than what I'm used to with the "kiddy" FFTAs.Fimbulvetr

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Can you believe I'm still playing this (haven't beat it yet since launch)? Haha. It's the hardest handheld game I've ever played! Damn the Order path and it's lack of proper financing. Too broke to upgrade all my characters EQ and have proper items in battle. Struggling to get past level 15. Forget trying to save Diego right now!
I guess a got every single unique equipment except the Ogre Shield. I have to do another run into the PotD to get it. I gave the Ogre set to Guildas and it's ridiculous how it improved his defense beyond 999 now (it was around 600) and his attack.Seda said:
I'm thinking to give it to
Hamilton
I'm thinking to put the Ogre Helm, Armor and Shield + Fafnir's Heart (the strongest dark 1H sword).Seda said:
Speaking of Ji'ygla's set, I gave it to Arycelle and indeed she kicks ass right now.
In my game,

You don't have to restart, no character is missable. Once you beat the game, you can go back to any point in time.
The only true missables in the game are some titles (for never retreating, never using chariot tarot, no incaps, no deaths....I didn't bother getting these), along with a couple of items (Crescent Bow/Cupid Bow, Decoy skill, one other maybe .....these are missable because if your characters are too high a level, they can't be dropped anymore.).

As long as you want them to.RedSwirl said:
Seriously though, you could probably beat Tactics Ogre without much trouble in about 40-45 hours but there is plenty to do if you want to play for hundreds.
Okay, I think I've done everything I want to bother with in this game.
-I've leveled up all human classes to 50, with the exception of Priest and Dark Priest, for clear reasons for those who've played the game.
-I have obtained all unique equipment, all available magic for the characters who use them.
-I have done, to my knowledge, all available battles and seen all available scenes.
-I have gotten 83/92 titles, the only titles I didn't bother with were the ones that require a limit on incaps, deaths, or chariot.
My team, consists of 29 characters:

So I just got to Chapter 2.
Going back to Xeod Moors and I see Arycelle again, not as a guest though. Can she join my party after this fight or not on this particular path (top path in the Wheel Of Fortune - is that chaos path since Denam now has that alignment instead of neutral)? Because the fight in the Xeod Moors, I cannot get to her in time to save her and I don't want to miss any possible characters.
Tried to save Balamusa's people and now I am a traitor.

Yes she joins if you save her.
Canopus with a Lobber is good for keeping her healed.

Okay I will switch him to a Lobber. Thanks for the help!Fimbulvetr said:

I've been playing it when I'm not busy, 100+ hours in a single playthrough, without beating the main story yet(I'm working on getting Deneb).

Pffft, you didn't even bother to max out their base stats with food items and tarot cards.

Oh my god keeping her alive is driving me crazy... I can get to her but I can't really heal her much and she gets ganged up on so bad... Here goes attempt 5.

Does Canopus have Field Alchemy 1 or 2?
Do you have any +1 or +2 versions of healing items?

Fimbulvetr said:
Alternatively, strip Canopus naked and they'll target him preferentially(usually)

Field Alchemy 1 and I do have Mend Leaf +1... Going to try and get him up to Field Alchemy 2 and get some Mend Seeds and see if that helps more.Fimbulvetr said:
Did not try that. I will do that too. See if that helps, thanks.MotionBlue said:

HAHA have her as a guest now. I removed Canopus' armor and used the horn of the savage. Thanks for the help guys.

Well Dark Priest is a shit class because of its poor spell selection, but there's no reason not to level up Priest. It's a better class than the Princess until you get Heavenly Judge. And even after learning it, I find the Priest has more utility considering there are a bunch of other unique classes that can do what the Princess can, but no other special healer classes like the Priest.
Basileus777

They have great INT, but their spell selection is so restrictive that the class makes little sense to use when the Priest and Princess are much better.Soulhouf said:
MP items are so common late game that's it's not a huge difference, especially if you only have one or two magic units that don't have meditate. The Priest has better INT and spell selection than the Princess until you get divine forbidden magic, but by that point you will have a bunch of classes that can use forbidden magic and the Princess' INT is low compared to pretty much off all of them.
1/Using an MP item consumes a turn while meditate doesn't and that makes a huge difference. You can gain more than 40 MP every turn.Basileus777 said:
2/I use Princess as a healer, rarely as an offensive magic caster.
3/I can't think of a class other than Princess and Lord who can use the Light forbidden magic. Besides especially this forbidden magic can exorcise undead when "killing" them and that's awesome.
4/Princess can also equip Brinhildr which makes her a good damage dealer. Combine that with a full set of "augment light +1" equipment and you can deal a decent damage using both sword and magic.
5/Unlike the other healing classes who are very fragile, Princess can stand in front while healing other units.
I understand your argument regarding the Dark Priest though, especially when you have a Lich/Wicce who master Dark magic perfectly.

Donnalto's
Post Asyton battle against Arcyelle.
Is that normal? Or can I avoid the plummet of loyalty by removing Donnalto from the fight and losing all that dialogue between him and Arcyelle? I don't think the dialogue is a required part of recruiting Arcyelle later on.

Can I basically skip element specialization if I only plan on beating the main game?
Nah, that's not a mini-disc. Just a small CD.Slime said:

I really need to get back into this game. Haven't touched the PSP for ages.

This happened to me after that battle, as well. But I kept using him, and a few battles later, his loyalty increased again. IIRC, this increase was connected to another battle where he had some dialogue.

just got this & started & would like to know one thing before i waste my time & potentially ruin my first run; is there any downside to grinding? in other words, do any of the fights scale to my team's level &, due to the lack of strong equipment early in the game, become really, really hard to win?
Basileus777

xbulletholes said:
Fights scale, but only to a limited degree (within a certain range based on where you are in the story) until you get to the late game/postgame content. So grinding won't make the game harder.
I'm about to enter the hanging gardens, but I'm weary about doing so. I feel I'm under leveled. My highest now is 18, and I've been seeing people say they're well into their 20s at the endgame. I tried to do one of the side quests and just got wasted by dragons, so now I suppose I'll upgrade my dragoons.
I was level 21 when I attempted the hanging gardens, but that was mainly because I was getting optional characters and loot. You should be fine though; you'll probably gain a few levels in the hanging gardens itself, and no matter what, the final fight is going to be a bitch.RDreamer said:
